Trigger BW limit
Selects the filter for the trigger channel. Other channels must use the same filter
, or
proceed unfiltered.
"Of
f"
The trigger signal is not filtered, and the acquisition channels can be
filtered independently.
"RF reject"
Frequencies higher the
"Channel BW limit" are rejected, lower fre-
quencies pass the filter.
Remote command:

5.6 Probes
With R&S R
T
O6 digital oscilloscopes, you can use various probe types. Mostly these
probes are passive and active voltage probes. The "Probes" dialog provides all probe-
relevant information.
The instrument can detect many probes and read out the probe-specific parameters,
for example, bandwidth and attenuation.
In the "Probes" tab, you find all settings that are relevant for the connected probe.
Access: "Menu" > "Vertical" > "Probes"
The functionality on the "Probes" tab changes according to the type of the attached
probe. Probes with Rohde & Schwarz probe interface (probe box), and also many
other passive voltage probes, are recognized by the instrument. The R&S RTO6 reads
out the main characteristics of the probe and displays them. Other probes cannot be
detected, but their characteristics are known to the instrument. These known probes
are called "Predefined probes". Probes that are not recognized automatically and not
predefined are unknown probes, they require manual setting of measurement unit and
attenuation.
Before you adjust the settings, select the correct channel tab.
Additional information is given in the "Probe Attributes" and "Calibration Results" tabs.
